Le plan de relance qui vise à donner un nouveau souffle à l’économie européenne dans l’après-Covid-19 s’est construit au travers de la dialogique communication/incommunication, laquelle constitue un des ciments de l’Union européenne depuis sa création. L’opposition puis la négociation entre les pays frugaux, partisans de l’orthodoxie budgétaire et d’une dette intergouvernementale, et les cigales du Sud, en faveur d’une mutualisation de la dette au niveau de l’Union, ont donné lieu à des points d’accords suffisamment ambigus pour permettre un consensus idéel vis-à-vis de la mutualisation de la dette et de son financement.

The recovery plan that aims to breathe life into the European economy in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic has been built through the dialogical relation of communication and incommunication, which is one of the mortars that has held the European Union together since its creation. Between frugal member states that adhere to budgetary orthodoxy and intergovernmental debt and the spendthrift states of the South that propose that debt be shared among states at the EU level, opposition has been followed by negotiation. This has produced points of agreement that are sufficiently ambiguous as to allow for the creation of a notional consensus regarding the mutualization of debt and its financing.
